Agatha Christie

In Agatha Christie's classic, Five Little Pigs, beloved detective Hercule Poirot races to solve a case from out of the past.

Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, but just like the nursery rhyme, there were five other "little pigs" who could have done it: Philip Blake (the stockbroker), who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist), who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcée),

...

A collection of eighteen stories featuring Hercule Poirot includes "The Plymouth Express," a case that begins when the body of the daughter of a wealthy American industrialist is found stuffed under a train seat, and "Problem at Sea," which finds a disliked rich woman murdered in a locked room on a ship.

Accused by strangers of trying to set them up for murder, Hercule Poirot teams up with Scotland Yard policeman Edward Catchpool to investigate the drowning death of an elderly man.
